the cut of your cinema

Tag Archives: Ben-Hur

Made for a hefty $100 million, Paramount Pictures’ Ben-Hur earned just $11.4 million in its first weekend of release, getting beat by a pair of smaller new films, War Dogs and Kubo and the Two Strings, while holdovers Suicide Squad and Sausage Party stay No. 1 and No. 2.

Paramount Pictures and MGM have released the first photos from the upcoming Ben-Hur remake (via USA Today), which follows the classic sword-and-sandals epic based on the 1880 Lew Wallace novel Ben-Hur: A Tale of the Christ.
